[WP] By the order of the king, you've subjugated the mountain trolls and brought back the severed head of their god. To the kings surprise, the head started talking the moment it was presented to the royal court. Now you understand the other meaning to the title of the God of Trolls.

[WP] You got trapped in a horror film with a serial killer. The catch is you are a invincible demigod and pretty sure another demigod is playing a prank on you. The killer is staring at you awkwardly as his hachet broke after a clean strike to your face that you didn't even bother to dodge.

[WP] The contract wasn't written down in words. You strapped lasers and a pair of gliders onto a 90kg pig, and launched it into the air with a siege engine that can throw it for 300 meters while live streaming. You fulfilled your side of the bargain of getting millions to catch "the dead swine flew"
